Chapter 4 - MultiFRAD Software
WAN Port Setup
The WAN Port Setup dialog box controls how the port is configured (i.e., frame relay or point-to-
point). If the WAN port is configured for frame relay, then the mode of the port is synchronous. If the
port is configured for point-to-point, then the mode can be either synchronous or asynchronous. If
the mode is asynchronous, then the connection method can be either answering or dialing. If the
connection method is dialing, then a number to be dialed has to be entered in the dial number field
and the modem type chosen in this field.
If the Frame Relay Device Driver is chosen, the MultiFRAD encapsulates data on its composite link
for transmission over a frame relay network. Enabling this device driver requires additional frame
relay configuration by choosing the Frame Relay button in the Main Menu.
If the PPP/SLIP mode is chosen, the MultiFRAD is configured for a point-to-point configuration which
allows for the transferring of packets between two end points. Enabling this device driver allows for
either an asynchronous or synchronous device to be connected between the end points. If an
asynchronous device is used, the MultiFRAD can be used as a single port remote access server.
When the PPP/SLIP mode is used, further configuration is required using the PPP button in the Main
Menu.
